Opportunity is important. It’s a version of luck. You need to be ready when opportunity shows up.

Opportunity is not a one time visitor. It shows up all the time. When it does it makes an offer. An offer you can take or reject. Sometimes you should drop everything and take the offer. Other times you should let the offer go because taking it would cause more harm than good to your life.

You need to learn to recognise which to take and which to leave.

Opportunity shows up and makes an offer. A random offer. It might be something you want, or not. But you don’t have to accept that system. You can influence the offers. You can make it so you get more offers of the things you want. You can make your own opportunities. Just like you can make your own luck.

If you want something you have to work hard for it. That way when opportunity shows up you have a better chance of being offered the deal you want. Sure, you could not work towards something at all and hope to get randomly picked. Hard work, though, hard work rigs it in your favour.
